Public transport in the city:

Turin has a widespread network of buses and trams which consents to reach
every corner of the city without worrying about the restricted traffic areas or
car parks.
Almost every line begins its journey at 05.00 hrs and finishes at 00.00 hrs.
Trip tickets can be bought at news-stands, tobacconists, and some public
concerns.
The ticket price can vary from trip to trip (local and suburban), from the
length of the trip (a ticket lasts 90 minutes, but there are also tickets that
last all day long), and from how many tickets are bought together (you can buy a
block of 10 tickets with a discount).
The Turin public transport company is the GTT (Gruppo Torinese Trasporti); on
its website (http://www.gtt.to.it/en/) there is plenty of information on local
and suburban buses and trams and even the possibility to download the working
days network map for buses and trams (very useful for tourists who want to move
by public transports).
